    This had to happen eventually. The phrase "trigger warning" now requires a "trigger warning".

    Warning: don't follow this link unless you are willing to sacrifice a few IQ points.
    Everyday Feminism definitely believes in giving people a heads up about material that might provoke our reader’s trauma. However, we use the phrase “content warning” instead of “trigger warning,” as the word “trigger” relies on and evokes violent weaponry imagery. This could be re-traumatizing for folks who have suffered military, police, and other forms of violence. So, while warnings are so necessary and the points in this article are right on, we strongly encourage the term “content warning” instead of “trigger warning.”
    Note that triggers are so horrible, that they had to use the word three times to make the point, undoubtedly traumatizing readers.

    Of course he forgot that the word content includes two trigger words at once: con (triggers people recently ripped off) and tent (triggers people who were forced into going camping with their in-laws).
    Not to mention "WARning". I think the left is just going to have to STFU so they don't risk triggering any unintended trauma.
